A furry strange love triangle.
As part of the Meerkat Movies campaign, we thought it would be funny
for long-suffering sidekick Sergei to get one over Aleksandr.
He managed to bag a date to the cinema with Hollywood royalty.
Get Sergei ready.
We then let people help Sergei pick out his outfit for the second date with an interactive game.
You could use our generator to help him compose a love poem for his beau
We also released Sergei’s tinder profile out into the wild, creating a chatbot. If your chat up lines were good enough, you were rewarded with free cinema snacks.
Mates or dates?
Sergei secured a second date with Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman, but then he was cock blocked by his furry friend.
So we asked the nation to help Sergei decide in the ad break by tweeting him.
Nicole got mugged off.
The British public pied Kidman in favour of Aleksandr Orlov.
Did the Kremlin hack the result to get their guy in? Quite possibly.
